An important decision has peen made by the
first comptroller Of the treasury in regard to the
handling of public moneys. 1t is that although
the law requires all persons who receive public
money to deposit the same in a regularly desig.
mated depository, and to take duplicate receipts
therefor, one OF which is to be transmitted to
the Secretary OF the Treasury, yet as the law
also provides that money can be turned into

Make Your Homes Attractive.

Mothers and fathers who have sons
and daughters growing up, do not al
ways realize as they should the great
necessity Of making home not merely
a place in which their children eat,
sleep, and are clothed, but one in
which they find positive happiness
and enjoyment. In nine cases out of
ten where you see wild youth or
giddy girl, go to their homes you
will find them cheerless, unattractive,
or perhaps actually disagreeable.
The nature of youth is excessively
restless; it has longing for action
and excitement, ambitions more or
less vain, and always the irreprcssible
desire to know broader life. Repress
these natural instincts, and you will
be sure to throw them into any soci-
ETY. that in q measure will crafty
their longings. Your sons do not go
to the public bar-rooms at first for the
taste of the liquor which they have
not as yet acquired /; they go for the
gay companions they find there. The
influence for good or evil that moth
er has over her sons, the control that
she exercises over their destinies, is a
grave responsibility. Throw open
your best room to the children in the
evening. Have books and maya
zine or two, even if you put away
less money. Stimulate their ambition,
and invent occupations and amuse-
ment for your children. Give them
games and endear yourself to them
by sharing their joys and plays. En-
courage them to be affectionate. Do
not with formal coldness starve them
for want of caresses.-AMERICAN AG-
